A burger’s a burger, eh? Come on, people, get with the programme. A burger is what you make it. A burger is an expression of your self, your very being. You can add what you like to it, make it yours, make it UNIQUE.

Now I know what you’re probably thinking (‘Get a life, Keith, it’s a burger!’ perhaps), you’re probably thinking that a burger is about the toppings: a bit of cheese here, a bit of bacon there, some cucumber, tomatoes, onions. Topped with mustard and/or ketchup.

But these burgers are a little like your good self: it’s what’s INSIDE that matters.

And so, to kick off my first Recipe Shed Linky, I give you Parmesan, Tomato, Oregano and Garlic Burgers with Fried Onion Bhaji Rings.

If you have a recipe you think could enchance the mundane existence of another person’s life, then please add it to the Linky at the end of this recipe.

1. In a clean bowl, add all the ingredients for the burgers and knead together, either with your hands or a metal spoon. Divide the mixture into two, then shape into balls and flatten out to burger shapes. Transfer to a plate and keep in the fridge until required.

2. Meanwhile, slice the onions and add to the gram flour batter mixture.

3. Take two large frying pans, and in one heat 2 tbsp of oil, and in the other, 0.5 litre oil, until smoking hot.

4. Cook the burgers in the pan for approx. 4 mins each side, until the outside is slightly charred, but the inside is moist with a hint of pink. Transfer to a plate to rest.

5. At the same time, remove the onions from the batter, shaking off any excess, and fry them in the hot oil for approx. 2 mins each side, until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper.

6. Lightly toast the burger buns, then assemble the burgers and serve with the onion rings, salad and condiments.

Fancy joining in? Fancy sharing your recipe with a wider audience? Then add it to the Link below and don’t forget to Link back. This is the first week of the Recipe Shed Linky, so chuck in anything you fancy. In the future, though, let’s theme the Shed – Indian, Italian, Cupcakes, Bread, Soup, you name it.

Good one Keith for getting your Recipe Linky up and running. We must’ve been on the same wavelength this week because I came up with a burger too but with sweet potato fries. They’re all the rage over here in Aus at the moment.

Totally agree on the burgers, it is harder than you think perfecting them at home though. I like to put onion in, but it needs to be finely chopped and gently cooked beforehand. Also Jamie has a great lamb burger recipe, nice having something a little different sometimes.

I have now subscribed RHD so I promise to put up the little badge and that next time, but my Brownie recipe is too good not to share I promise to look around some of the others later – I love new recipes that actually work x
